I use cblfs 64-bit only (cpu=amd64).  My  route was as follows:-

-
##################### built opencollada like so:

edit  SConstruct 
change  -O2 -DNDEBUG
to  -m64 -fPIC -O2 -DNDEBUG


scons \
RELEASE=1 \
NOVALIDATION=0 \
XMLPARSER=expatNative \
PCRENATIVE=1 \
SHAREDLIB=0


install in /some/prefix

(i.e. move the whole tree -blender finds the includes 
instead of the crude method above, 
I tried   creating an PREFIX/include directory -it was not worth  it)
for libs copy all the generated static libs to a directory (of the source 
tree) called lib
then chmod 0644
##################### built blender like so:-


cd blender

mkdir  build
cd build

 cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" /path/to/blender \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O2 -m64 -fPIC"   \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O2 -m64 -fPIC"  \
-DWITH_OPENCOLLADA=ON \
-DOPENCOLLADA=/some/prefix/opencollada  \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/wherever 


make


If you have to use bruteforce do this:-
edit CMakeLists.txt 
change SET(OPENCOLLADA /usr/local/opencollada
to SET(OPENCOLLADA /some/prefix/opencollada

######### 

I hope the above is of use.
